Description
Jodi Kantor was given a beat and had been pointed at a tweet - a single tweet, without any names included that would set her on a months-long investigation. Teaming up with Megan Twohey, the two New York Times’ journalists set off to uncover one of the biggest scandals of the decade: a slew of allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. (Weinstein and lawyers representing his former company went on to deny all wrong-doing.) This is the story of what went into breaking a major story that started a viral, online movement.  Read all about it:  Jodi and Megan’s book She Said is out now and available from all good booksellers: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/586563/she-said-by-jodi-kantor-and-megan-twohey/ Hosted and produced: Maeve McClenaghan Production support: Cheeka Eyers Theme music: Dice Muse This series of The Tip-Off is brought to you with support from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and funding from Charities Aid Foundation.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
